密西根成為美國的一州: 1837126

如果你很快速的唸出「歐吉布威」 (歐—吉布—威) (Ojibwa) ,聽起來就會有一點像是在念「密西根」 (Michigan) 。密西根的名稱是因為當地的印第安語「歐吉布威」而來,意思就是「大湖」 (large lake) 。美國五大湖中有四座湖泊都和密西根相鄰。五大湖是美國最大的湖群。即使是在密西根成為美國一州之前,在湖泊四周已經有許多大型城鎮出現了。


Say "Ojibwa" (O-'jib-way) quickly and it might just sound a little like "Michigan." Michigan derived its name from the Indian word "Ojibwa" which means "large lake." Four of the five Great Lakes, the largest lakes in the United States, border Michigan. Even before Michigan became a state, large towns grew up along the edge of the lakes.
